Cette lecture est la première d'un cycle de quatre que je vous recommande vivement:- Vendredi 13 Mai , Romain Gary : La Promesse de l'aube.- Samedi 21 Mai , Pascal Quignard : Tous les matin du monde.- Vendredi 27 Mai , Albert Cohen : Ô Vous frères humains.Toujours à 19h. Chaque lecture est accompagnée par un musicien différent. L'interaction voix/instrument est à chaque fois une merveille.Tonight marks the opening of a "new" theatre in Avignon, the Way Out There theatre (théatre Au Bout Là-Bas) previously known as Pully Theatre (théatre de la poulie). While the old name was a reminder of the ancient pully hanging off its facade, the new name makes humorous reference to its hard to find location in a dead end alley in the maze of Avignon's historic city centre streets. The theatre's website is entirely illustrated with photos I took last summer of its beautiful façade, a few of which you can see here, more of which you'll find on the website here. Revamped and refurbished by my dear friends Lucien & Françoise the theatre's season opens tonight with a reading of Kafka's novel "The trial" by Louis Rama.

If you are around, do come over tonight and celebrate with us : the show will be followed by drinks and nibbles.

After six years in Australia and five years of city life in Avignon I moved to the countryside near the small village of Beaumes-de-Venise. Once dedicated to street photography my blog has since taken a more rural note but the beautiful region of Provence is an constant source of inspiration.
